Two Gallants - The Bloom and the Blight

Review by Ruth Singleton

As Two Gallants head comfortably towards new and heavier ground, it could be that the interplay between this and their old quasi-emo style is wearing thin.»

closeeuropean version with two bonus tracks. this album is their first since 2007's self-titled release and comes after a three-year hiatus. friends since they were five, adam stephens and tyson vogel grew up playing music together, from early teen-age house parties in their hometown of san francisco, to multiple world tours. the bloom and the blight is the work of a band that has matured and redefined itself, and the album is imbued with a palpable sense of personal catharsis. it moves away from two gallants' more folk and blues-based past, representing the duo's ferocious live show and their past steeped in punk and grunge. the songs have a dark side and a dynamic sonic heft, yet a sense of salvation and resolve courses throughout: an urgent, emotional poignancy stemming in part from stephens' recovery from a serious van accident in 2010.
